Wait
for the applet and sounds to finish loading, this may take a minute
or two. The game screen will show "Game Over - 'S' to Start"
once everything is ready. In the meantime you can review the
instructions below.

Note:
If the game doesn't seem to be responding to key presses, click your
mouse pointer in the game area.

Playing
the Game

Use
the keyboard controls described below to maneuver your ship,
destroying as many asteroids as you can while avoiding collision with
them. Also watch for the flying saucers armed with guided missles.

If
you warp into hyperspace, your ship will momentarily disappear then
reappear on another part of the screen, gradually fading in. During
this time the ship is invunerable. Likewise, when your ship is
destroyed, a new one will appear in the center of the screen. You can
still maneuver and fire during this time so if you are in imminent
danger, you have a couple of seconds to get out of it.
